Stocks in town are large, and a great portion of them, as we before noticed, is not of a prime sample. Prices are unchanged; 5s 9d to 6s for average qualities, and 6s 3d for superior ones. Flour is steady for local demand at £16 to £17. Some small shipments are taking place, but not sufficient to affect prices. Oats are in better demand, but prices remain without any alteration, 3s 9d,to 4s. Potatoes are in full supply, and but few shipments are taking place, prices have not as yet receded, but unless a better demand springs up shortly, prices must fall; our present quotations are £3 10s to £4 10s.
Onions are unsaleable at any quotation.— Mercury, Jnly 19,
